SecureLogix, a provider of solutions for enterprise voice/UC policy enforcement and ROI intelligence, stated that its chief technology officer Mark Collier recently published a new book titled 'Hacking Exposed: Unified Communications (News - Alert) & Voice Over IP Security Secrets and Solutions, Second Edition.’


The book details about the 'voice' or unified communication (UC) application security issues and the type and range of attacks on enterprise networks. It also lists and explains practical countermeasures and best practices through which one can safeguard their networks from these attacks.

The newly released edition is part of the 'Hacking Exposed' IT security book series and foot printing, scanning, and enumeration required to plan for attacks - attacks against UC and VoIP networks to include eavesdropping, infrastructure DoS, and Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks are some of the subjects that are widely discussed in the book. The book also talks about the threat scenarios that are exclusive to Cisco (News - Alert) systems.

The book is targeted at information security professionals who consistently and successfully have to save their networks and infrastructure from the ever increasing hacks that are becoming more sophisticated and intrusive. The second edition also presents updated and modern day security threats to voice and UC networks like telephony denial of service (TDoS), toll frauds, call pumping, voice phishing scams and spam, financial fraud and personal information threat from social networking sites and more.

Mark Collier commented, "The Public Voice Network has become much more hostile and both enabled new attacks and made traditional voice attacks easier and cheaper to execute. While UC and VoIP add much new vulnerability, what they primarily do is allow the same attacks occurring in the past much more prevalent and disruptive. This includes attacks such as TDoS, which were never practical in the past, but are now rapidly increasing. The Public Voice Network will continue to get more and more hostile, eventually merging with the Internet. The attacks described in this book have a financial incentive behind them and can be expected to become more and more disruptive to enterprises."
